The Master’s Hand

Mystery and the Minister's Wife #25

by Diane Noble

Copper Mill is buzzing with excitement over the opening of a new museum that features art donated by one of the town’s great success stories, a man named Davis Carr, who spent a meaningful part of his childhood there. Carr has even made sure that the museum is equipped with a high-tech surveillance system run by security guru Clive Garfield.
But when Paul’s mentor, Nehemiah Jacobs, comes across the security feed of the museum, he sees more than just a few priceless paintings. Kate is sure that the suspicious activity at the museum is connected to Clive, especially after she notices that Livvy’s son James Jenner, who works on Clive’s security team, begins to act fearful and skittish.
When Kate tries to enlist the assistance of Renee Lambert, she finds that Renee has sworn off gossip, which makes for a surprisingly difficult investigation. With or without Renee, Kate knows that something shady is surrounding the museum and, worse, she worries that James is in trouble. Can she get to the bottom of it before it’s too late?

I really enjoyed this book in the series. This one kept me reading "one more chapter" far later than I should have.
